Following  the announcement by the US Federal Reserve of a new round of  quantitative easing, now known as QE2, the price of gold immediately  climbed to a recent high of $1,424.10 an ounce. However, the subsequent  profit-taking action across the market at the start of this week has  driven the US dollar much higher while simultaneously pulling commodity  prices downward.<\/p>\n<p>These price swings in gold\u2019s price have  caused a stir among market participants, many of whom have profited  greatly by capturing these movements with their new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/landsys\/gold\/en\/?zone_id=7987\">Gold Trading Accounts<\/a>, now available at ForexYard.<\/p>\n<p>As we can see in the chart below, there are two bullish trend lines  interacting with one another, creating a distinct bullish channel. As  the price climbed towards the upper border of this channel we have  witnessed a strong technical reaction resulting in a massive sell-off.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, technical indicators on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/relative-strength-index-rsi\">RSI<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/stochastic\">Stochastic (slow)<\/a> show a build-up of sell pressure on Gold. The first support level to be  tested during this correction is near the $1,382 price mark, while the  second, stronger support level rests near last week\u2019s psychological  barrier of $1,340 an ounce, with a potential pause occurring near  $1,360.<\/p>\n<p>Traders operating with our new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/landsys\/gold\/en\/?zone_id=7987\">Gold Trading Account<\/a> may wish to take this opportunity to go short on Gold until it reaches a  safe turning point, likely to occur somewhere between $1,360 and  $1,340. Afterwards, this precious metal will likely continue its bullish  streak.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gold \u2013 Daily Chart<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Gold-Daily-Chart1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Gold-Daily-Chart1.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"649\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Forex <\/strong><strong>Market Analysis provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/?zone_id=1398\" target=\"_blank\">ForexYard.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2006 by FxYard Ltd<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: Trading Foreign Exchange carries a high level of risk and                                                                                                                                          may       not       be                   suitable         for         all                                 investors.
